Nectonema is a genus of marine horsehair worms first described by Addison E. Verrill in 1879.[1] It is the only genus in the family Nectonematidae described by Henry B. Ward in 1892, in the order Nectonematoidea, and in the class Nectonematoida. The genus contains five species; all species have a parasitic larval stage inhabiting crustacean hosts and a free-living adult stage that swims in open water.[2][3]
